अवधूत उवाच नावाहनं नैव विसर्जन वा पुष्पाणि पत्राणि कथं भवन्ति । ध्यानानि मन्त्राणि कथं भवन्ति समासमं चैव शिवार्चनं च ॥ १॥
There is neither invitation nor casting off; How can there be flowers, leaves, meditations and recitation of sacred texts, and how can there be worship of Siva -which is identity in non-difference?
न केवलं बन्धविबन्धमुक्तो न केवलं शुद्धविशुद्धमुक्तः। न केवलं योगवियोगमुक्तः स वै विमुक्तो गगनोपमोऽहम् ॥२॥
Brahman is not only free from bondage and liberation, purity and impurity, union and separation, but truly It is ever free. And I am that Brahman-infinite as space.
अबोधबोधो मम नैव जातो बोधस्वरूपं मम नैव जातम्। निर्बोधबोधं च कथं वदामि स्वरूपनिर्वाणमनामयोऽहम् ॥ ५॥
Ignorance and knowledge do not originate in me. The knowledge of the Self also does not arise in me. How can I say that I have ignorance or knowledge? I am by nature blissful and free.
